Healing from trauma can also mean finding new strength and joy. The goal of healing is not a papering-over of changes in an effort to preserve or present things as normal. It is to acknowledge and wear your new life — warts, wisdom, and all — with courage.

John Terry claims defeat by Arsenal could be a blessing in disguise and urges team-mates to use it as a wake-up call.

Terry: “There was a trophy on the line. It hurt when you saw them walk up the [Wembley] stairs to lift it. It means a lot because you work all season to be here. They earned the right to be here by winning the FA Cup. So did we by winning the league. No matter if it’s a friendly or a Community Shield - it’s a trophy at the end of the day. It’s horrible. It’s not nice. At the same time, it could be a blessing in disguise for us - a wake-up call. We have experience in the squad - we have the character. It’s going to be even tougher this year. We go again and prepare ourselves for Swansea.‘We have the Premier League to concentrate on now. We have to take the positives from it. We got another 90 minutes under our belts.”
